The article does specify a number of both documented and undocumented
init.ora parameters that are fixed for Apps 11i. When a performance issue in
'standard' code is reported to the 11i, they will (supposed to) resolve the
problem via a patch. Now the patch may contain hints (and many do) to
resolve the issue. Any changes by the user would NOT have been supported by
Oracle Apps support.

Hints could be added in the Custom code though. Fyi, up until Apps 11i,
Oracle's own ERP Suite ran on the RBO (very successfully, and on a very
large number of sites with fairly large Dbs I might add).
